The New Plantation examines the controversial relationship between predominantly White NCAA Division I Institutions (PWI’s) and black athletes, utilizing an internal colonial model. It provides a much-needed in-depth analysis to fully comprehend the magnitude of the forces at work that impact black athletes’ experiences at PWI’s. Hawkinsprovides a conceptual framework for understanding the structural arrangements of PWI’s and how they present challenges to Black athletes’ academic success; yet, challenges some have overcome and gone on to successful careers, while many have succumbed to these prevailing structural arrangements and have not benefited accordingly. The workis a call for academic reform, collective accountability from the communities that bear the burden of nurturing this athletic talent and the institutions that benefit from it, and collective consciousness to the Black male athletes that make of the largest percentage of athletes who generate the most revenue for the NCAA and its member institutions. Its hope is to promote a balanced exchange in the athletic services rendered and the educational services received.

No question; March Madness is like a month of Superbowls.
And this book/CD package is a terrific companion to track and follow the history of the tournament.

It's funny how college basketball has become even more popular than pro in some markets. Its a shame there aren't more books and media on the tourament. We expect that to change soon. Until then, these combo package is just the ticket to track the stats, rankings and history of some of the most colorful matchups and Cinderella stories.

Very Helpful Guide
I'm new to the NCAA football franchise and so needed detailed information on how to play the game. This guide has great information on the in-game commands to use to execute all the various moves and plays, with detailed information about each one. It has been very helpful to me. Although, I do miss the old days when games came with manuals this good in the first place.

rules- know them and love them!
I found this book to be easy to read as far as rule books go.I have read many rule books on basketball (namely the high school, national federation rule book) and this one reads by far the easiest.Instead of reading likean outline, the book follows rules with plays of application, making iteasier to picture the rule and its enforcement.I recommend this book foranyone from the official wanting to move up to referee the college game, orthe fan who wants to increase his or her knowledge of the college game.

Love the Lady Vols!
I bought this because I love the Lady Vols, and had bought the 2007 edition with Candace on the cover. Had to have this one to add to my collection of stuff! It's what it's supposed to be --- a magazine filled with Lady Vols. If you're a fan, you'll love it, and if you're not, you're probably not looking at this anyway!

Lady Vols
Can you really go wrong with anything lady vol related?I haven't been able to yet!

Perfect
I ordered this issue of Sports Illustrated as a "collectors item" and it arrived in perfect condition.It was better than the issues I've seen on the news stands!

Lady Vols Rock!
Great Lady Vols collectable!I am a big fan and this is an awesome magazine to add to my collection.

Great Read
This is a must have for all Vols. fans. The stories is fantastic. I especailly like the one about Shannon Bobbitt growing up in New York and how she became a Lady Vol.
